This collaboration underscores Cargill’s continued investment in one of the Philippines’ most important agricultural regions, with a mission to deliver faster, more reliable, and high-quality feed solutions.
Mindanao remains a vital hub for the country’s agriculture, home to a growing number of animal farmers, livestock producers, and agribusinesses. By establishing a dedicated production line at the Tantangan facility, Cargill is expanding its operational footprint and reinforcing its commitment to strengthening the Philippines' food system.
“This is about serving our Mindanao customers better — with the reliability, responsiveness, and quality they deserve,” Sonny Catacutan, senior managing director for Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health Philippines.
“We’re excited about what this partnership brings, not just in operational capability, but in helping us create more impact for customers, farmers, and communities that depend on us every day.”
The Tantangan facility boasts modern milling technology, consistent high-performance output, and a monthly feed capacity tailored to meet the region’s growing demand.
With production now fully operational, the partnership bolsters Cargill’s supply chain resilience in Mindanao while enabling the delivery of sustainable, data-driven, and customer-focused nutrition solutions.
“This partnership is a testament to our shared mission of empowering Mindanao’s farmers with innovative, sustainable solutions,” said Rey Chiang, CEO of Biotech Farms.
“Since 2001, Biotech has been at the forefront of transforming Philippine agriculture through precision farming, renewable energy, and circular economy practices. Together with Cargill, we will amplify our impact—ensuring farmers receive high-quality, tailored feed nutrition solutions using Cargill’s cutting-edge research, data-driven insights, and a vast supply chain network that not only boosts productivity but also aligns with our commitment to environmental stewardship and community upliftment,” Chiang added. —Ed: Corrie S.
